Abstract

A handle for a hand tool, including a hollow handle body and a cover covered on the handle body at the bottom, wherein the handle body has a bottom chamber, an inside annular groove around the bottom chamber, a hexagonal coupling hole longitudinally disposed at the front end in communication with the bottom chamber, a transverse hole perpendicularly extending from the hexagonal coupling hole to the periphery, and a springy strip suspending in the transverse hole adjacent to the hexagonal coupling hole, the springy strip having a raised portion facing the hexagonal coupling hole for holding down a driving shaft in the hexagonal coupling hole for holding a tool bit; the cover has a plurality of split upright barrels for holding tool bits, two arched connecting walls connected between the split upright barrels, and a circular chamber defined within the arched connecting walls for holding a driving shaft, each of the split upright barrels having a transverse rib forced into engagement with the inside annular groove of the handle body.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
       1. A handle for a hand tool, comprising: a handle body having a bottom chamber at a bottom end thereof, an inside annular groove around said bottom chamber, a hexagonal coupling hole longitudinally disposed at a front end thereof in communication with said bottom chamber, a transverse hole perpendicularly extending from said hexagonal coupling hole to the periphery, a springy strip suspending in said transverse hole adjacent to said hexagonal coupling hole, and two opposite press portions on the outside near the bottom end, said springy strip having a raised portion facing said hexagonal coupling hole for holding down a driving shaft in said hexagonal coupling hole for holding a tool bit; and a cover fastened to said handle body and covered on said bottom chamber, said cover comprising a plurality of split upright barrels for holding tool bits, two arched connecting walls connected between said split upright barrels, and a circular chamber defined within said arched connecting walls for holding a driving shaft, each of said split upright barrels having a transverse rib forced into engagement with the inside annular groove of said handle body; wherein said cover can be disconnected from said handle body by disengaging the transverse rib of each of said split upright barrels from the inside annular groove of said handle body by squeezing said press portions to deform the bottom end of said handle body.
